Frontline Professional Growth Reviews

I like that I am able to view my current records (as a teacher) as well as my previous years' evaluation results. I like that I am able to upload and present confidential information to the system and not only submit my work but notify my supervisor that my work has been submitted.

There isn't much to dislike. The platform is solid, easy to use, and best of all - it works.

I highly recommend Frontline if you need a system that allows collaboration on a sturdy, easy to use platform.

I'm using Frontline Professional Growth for my requirement as a teacher. I use the platform for two observations a year as well as professional growth evaluations throughout the year. The ease of the program allows me to seamlessly work on my own professional growth and allow my administrator to access my information as well.

What I value the most about this program is the organization it gives to my job. As a substitute, your day is different every day of the week, and it is hard to keep track. This program shows a calendar view of the current and next month that is color coded with days you already have jobs, days that none are available, and days that have available jobs. It then makes it super easy to browse through the possible job assignment, making finding the best available job quite simple.

The only thing I dislike about this program is I am employed in two different school districts and I have yet to find a way to merge the two, showing both job listings at the same time. As of now, I have to log off of one account and log in to the other in order to see both, making it difficult for me to remember all my available options on the same days.

Some benefits Frontline provides is the ability to easily check at all times available subbing positions. I believe that benefits the school systems in order to keep a high number of substitute teachers employed. If it was difficult to navigate or had a lot of technical difficulties I can imagine people would end up complaining.

Being able to submit requests for days off and see acceptance online is more convenient than having to talk with someone in person.

I have been using this for several years now and I still fumble around to find what I am looking for. I believe that it should be easier to find the needed forms and get them submitted. More intuitive and streamlined features would be appreciated.

Frontline does what it needs to do but could be easier to use.

With Frontline, I can see all of my PD points from years past and the current year in one place anytime that I would like. It is also a place where I can see the dates of all of the days that I have been gone during the school year.

I like that Frontline now extends its program into absence management, as well as tracking professional development programming. As a teacher, it is wonderful to schedule an absence when needed, efficiently and immediately. Similarly, it is really helpful to participate in online classes, signing up, tracking progress, and adjusting my enrollment from one easy to use site.

I dislike that it can sometimes be specific to the district itself. When using usernames and passwords specific to your district, you must be sure to log in from your district-specific site. Otherwise, you may be faced with a frustrating "incorrect username/password" message.

All district employees can monitor and enhance their professional development through this site. As I teach workshops, other teachers can rate my workshops, provide immediate feedback, and be given credit for their participation in minutes. It's so easy.

Log in, choose your job, log out. Easy! Everything is right there to help you decide if the job is for you. Job type, school, location, phone, map link, link to teacher notes, day/date/time of shift and total hours to be paid and length of break.

Waiting for jobs to post....waiting. Sometimes the jobs just don’t post. People aren’t sick, don’t take vacation etc. and there aren’t many positions available so you have to watch more closely for an opening.

I’m amazed at this product as a user.

Absenteeism at schools for teachers. No more missing teachers.

I appreciate Frontline for the fact that I can look at all of the requirements I have coming up for my Professional Growth Evaluation (PGE) Goals.

I dislike that all of my past evaluations are located in the same list with the current evaluations. It makes for a lost of evaluation elements to look at. It would make sense to have the different years of evaluations separated out.

A benefit of the Fronline Professional Growth platform is that I can share confidential data and documents with my administrator. Also, I can see electronically my scores on my reviews, as well as feedback given by my administraotr.

I love that Frontline is a one stop platform to house all my professional growth content. I am able to seek growth approval, see what areas I need to complete and what development opportunities are available.

Takes a little fiddling to find where all content areas are stored (a lot of tab within tab clicking) though once you figure it all out it is easy to use.

It is easy to use, once you find your way around the site.

I love that all my hours completed and up and coming areas of growth are stored in one platform. I can see when i'm up for evaluation.

All of the information is in one place and easily accessible. It also allows employees to keep track of their own professional development and to sign up for courses and workshops on their own.

There is little I dislike about this product. It is very easy to use.

This streamlines the HR process and is easy to use.

This programs allows employees to manage their own professional development opportunities and records instead of having to go through HR.

As a school administrator, Frontline has a dashboard which is self-explanatory and easy to access the most frequently used areas.

The area which keeps track of my own professional development has too many options for me to manage.

Use this for tracking teacher observations and using the pie chart to visualize how many observations are complete, in progress, and left to start is nice feature for me to plan.

It is a very user-friendly program with helpful tutorial training videos.

It costs money to download the Android app.

Watch the free online tutorial videos before using the program. They are short, easy to understand and to the point!

I no longer have to depend on numerous and disruptive phone calls at all hours. All of the communication can be done conveniently online.

That it has all your PD certs in one place and puts the catalog there too.

Nothing. It is a good product that replaces many files and papers all at once

I would ay in order to save papers and files- go for it!

I’ve realized the benefit of having an all in one place PD program includes annual reviews. Benefits of saving paper

I really enjoy the preferred subs list you can use.

I wish there was an easier way to trace ALL of your previous absences and even sort them by school business, sickness, ect.

I would make sure you have a set of preferred subs and add them to your list immediately.

This software leaves a "paper trail" for sub days.

We've just moved to Frontline. It seems a lot easier to navigate than previous tools. It is easy to toggle between evaluation and substitute pages.

The font is a bit small, but it's not really a significant issue.

It's remarkably easy to learn. Almost no training was needed to be up and running.

We use it to organize documents and communication regarding evaluation of employees.

I like that it is customizeable. We have customized our data input sections, feedback forms and form library to meet the needs of our school district.

I feel a little overwhelmed by some of the components of the program.

We use Frontline to keep track of teacher and paraprofessional hours in order to make the state recertification process easy.

Ability to easily switch from application to application. Single sign in is a big plus

It's not integrated into our Active Directory. Requires a separate account.

Automates the entry of Absences and hours worked into our accounting system.

Frontline now both does absence management, as well as tracking professional development programming.

There's really not much to dislike here, except that my school district doesn't use all it's functionality.

It's centralized a very uncomfortable set of procedures and made them easy.

Helpful Data Tracking for PD. Easy to store completed hours over multiple years.

Searching the catalog isn't as easy as it could be. More filters would bexpect appropriate.

Try it out!

It was difficult to log & track PD opportunities. This makes it simple.

Ability to upload professional development certification to the licensing committee

It's not easy or intuitive to navigate. Sections could be a lot more clear. It's really clunky.

Ease of submitting CEUs for licensure

I like the Convenience if using this software.

I cannot think of anything that I dislike about this software.

keeps track of attendance well

I like how easy this is to use and manage, it hows been a very seamless transition to using this product!

So far there is nothing that I have found to be a problem with this product.

We were able to share the evaluation process more easily and keep track of it which was nice to have to look back on and reflect on growth.

I use this product at work to track professional development and for my educator evaluations each yet.

Sometimes I get error messages if I copy and paste information into the fields.

I use Frontline to track my evaluations and professional development.

All the documents for the year are all in one place

It's confusing to tell which forms are which, what needs to be done and what doesn't.

It's used to fill out forms throughout the school year.

Frontline has a great dashboard that is easy to use is.

There is a limited amount time to give feedback.

Frontline is used as a tool for finding substitutes.
